Remove and open the paper template from
the shipping carton.
Locate the area with 2” solid wood in-wall
backing. Determine desired seat height
(ADA requirements stipulate a seat height of
17” 19” from the floor). Using the
template (supplied by manufacturer), align
hole centerlines with the in-wall backing.
Using a level (not provided) ensure the “Top
of Seat Mounting Bracket line is level.
(See Diagram 4)
Tape the template into position on the
mounting surface.
When installing the seat in a tub enclosure,
place the tub/shower seat in the open
position (as shown in Diagrams 1 & 2)
against the template, prior to installation, to
ensure the bottom of the seat will clear the
tub dam. (See Diagram 2)

extremely important you mark the center of
each of the six (6) mounting holes precisely
on the mounting surface. (See Diagram 4)

Proceed cautiously through the following steps in this installation process to avoid drilling into in-wall water supply lines.
3. Mounting the Silhouette SlimLine Tub/Shower Seat in Tiled Wall Enclosure.
All mounting points must fasten into structural wood backing, minimum 2” thickness.
Avoid electrical and/or plumbing behind the wall, and where possible drill through tile not through grout.
Step #1
Drill through the tile only with a 1/4“ Carbide tile drill bit (not provided) at the six (6) locations marked on
the wall to create clearance holes, leaving a center point mark in the cement board backing to use as a guide
for Step #2.
Step #2
Use a power drill with a 3/16Standard drill bit (not provided) and drill into the 2” thick solid wood backing
in the wall, using the center point guide marks created in Step #1. Fill the clearance holes on the mounting
surface with silicone to ensure a water-tight seal will be created at all mounting locations.
